(7:48:21 PM) ***marclaport1 has an idea
(7:48:31 PM) marclaport1: to make tiki easier to install

(7:53:33 PM) marclaport1: so if tiki-install.php can only can the upgrade sql (which is designed to be run over & over again) tiki becomes safer
(7:54:55 PM) marclaport1: if the database exists, there should be a note the admin to use phpmyadmin to go and empty the database of create a new one for tiki
(8:00:29 PM) ***marclaport1 feels that must be something wrong with this idea, or else all the smart people in tiki would have though about it.
(8:03:38 PM) ***marclaport1 has the impression that most tiki devs don't use the web installer
